Seedling root morphology and biomass allocation of 62 tropical tree species in relation to drought‐ and shade‐tolerance (2009, background): “1996; but see Schenk & Jackson 2002), in seedlings from forests with a long dry period (Paz 2003) and in species from dry sandy soils (Yamada et al.”
Traits to stay, traits to move: a review of functional traits to assess sensitivity and adaptive capacity of temperate and boreal trees to climate change (2016, background): “The ratio of maximum rooting depth to total leaf area and the root-to-shoot ratio have been found to be strong predictors of seedling performance under water deficit (Lloret et al. 1999; Paz 2003).”
A review of light interception in plant stands from leaf to canopy in different plant functional types and in species with varying shade tolerance (2010, result): “In contrast, other studies have found the opposite (Chen 1997; Delagrange et al. 2004; Niinemets and Kull 1998; Paz 2003; Valladares et al. 2002) or have not found clear-cut patterns (Paquette et al.”
Determinants of whole‐plant light requirements in Bornean rain forest tree saplings (2007, background): “Nevertheless, some prior comparative studies have found LAR to be significantly correlated with growth patterns and measures of shade tolerance (Paz 2003; Lusk 2004), and direct allocation measures and more detailed measures of display efficiency (Pearcy, Muraoka & Valladares 2005) might reveal a st”
EVOLUTIONARY PATTERNS AND BIOGEOCHEMICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF ANGIOSPERM ROOT TRAITS (2012, unknown): “…(temperate rainforest chronosequence: Holdaway et al. 2011) as well as within communities (temperate forest: Brundrett and Kendrick 1990; Pregitzer et al. 2002; Withington et al. 2006; Guo et al. 2008; Comas and Eissenstat 2009; tropical forest: St. John 1980; Paz 2003; Zangaro et al. 2007).”
Seedling Traits Determine Drought Tolerance of Tropical Tree Species (2008, background): “3B), characterized by an extensive root system, with fine roots with a high SRL and high RLPM (cf Paz 2003).”
